The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is a popular East Asian tradition of Chinese origin[dubious – discuss], dating back over 3,000 years to moon worship in China's Shang Dynasty, that spread to neighbouring cultures like Japan [3]. It was first called Mid-Autumn festival in the Zhou Dynasty [4]. In Malaysia and Singapore, it is also sometimes referred to as the Lantern Festival or Mooncake Festival. The Chinese Lantern Festival is held on the 15 day of the eighth lunar month.
